    Asus AX86U

    Have been an early adopter of this router, as I bought it when it came out in 2020. I came across multiple Asus AX86U issues post march 2022, including dropping of WiFi and frequent and Random Boots, tried all options presented here by others including FW changes to Merlin and Stock, multiple...

    Asus rt-ax86u 5ghz band crashing with new firmware when downloading

    I agree with you there are not many better choices with the prosumer features Asus offers and on top of it RMerlin support has been extremely invaluable. I may cave in and pick another Asus maybe the AX Pro model next. For now this struggle is leading me back to tinker with pfSense, I have had...

    Asus rt-ax86u 5ghz band crashing with new firmware when downloading

    I think my experience is relevant to this thread as I have been battling AX86U disconnects/frequent reboot issue since 386.5 fw update June 2022. I had sent this unit for RMA, and I have received a quote to fix it for approx $200, as apparently I ran out of warranty per the rep on 11/27/22. I...

    Asus rt-ax86u 5ghz band crashing with new firmware when downloading

    my AX86U (Vietnam) has been acting flaky for 5 months after 18months of use since 2020 and I gave up last week and RMA'd it waiting for a return, had tried everything including 100's of resets, and other suggestions here. Merlin or equivalent 386.5 and 386.5_2 were the most stable in my tests. I...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21709

    just to confirm is pressing WPS button to hard reset is sufficient, there is also a reset button in the back and from within GUI. what's the best way to ensure its hard reset. Does AX86U has the 30-30-30 seconds sequence like AC68U used to?

    Release ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21709

    Glad I stumbled on this thread. I reconfigured my trusty AC87U and have been rock solid for 24 hours but obviously not good from vulnerability standpoint, AX86U is best experimental right now or a POS. Maybe I should go back to 386_46061 or 386_5.2 Merlin. Currently have AX86U/Asus FW hooked up...

    I have been unstable on all latest firmwares. (asus or merlin) and started a support thread with Asus, tells me my warranty expired 11/27/22 ouch. Should have started to ping them earlier as I have been in a mess regarding this router for 6 months now. have done all that can be thought of...

    asus ax86u actualizacion erronea

    I have been on 386.5_2 for last 5 days no reboots, want to go to the latest to get security patches but wary of starting back with the suffering. A lot of people didn't have issues, that could be either our homes having some legacy devices or maybe a batch of AX82U's that exhibiting this...

    RT-AX88U No Internet red light on reboot

I do frequent updates as they come out for last 10 years AC68U and now AX86U but latest versions (in last 4 weeks) have be PIA. I have tried every textbook fix, resets etc, and have finally settled with 386.5_2...

    RT-AX86U random reboots

    I am in the similar random reboot mode in AX86U for last 2-3 weeks. after messing with everything I could, last night I went back to 386.5_2 and have been stable for 24 hours now. I did try the latest Asus fw from 9/30/22 as well as Merlins last few updates including current beta. Something is...
